Donald Trump Sworn In As 47th President Of The United States
Donald Trump officially returned to the White House on Monday, taking the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States during a historic inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. The event, attended by thousands of supporters waving American flags, marked a dramatic comeback for Trump, making him the first former president since Grover Cleveland in 1893 to win a non-consecutive second term.
Trump, standing on the Capitol steps alongside his family and Vice President JD Vance, placed his hand on the Bible and vowed to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The oath was administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, as cannon fire and the iconic “Hail to the Chief” salute reverberated through the air.
The ceremony featured patriotic performances, including a stirring rendition of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” as the crowd cheered. In a brief inaugural address, Trump reiterated his pledge to put “America First,” promising economic revival, stronger national security, and renewed global leadership.
“Today, we begin a new chapter in the story of America. Together, we will rebuild, restore, and reclaim our nation’s greatness,” Trump declared, drawing applause from the audience.
Vice President JD Vance, who served as a key ally throughout Trump’s campaign, also took his oath of office, further cementing the administration’s focus on addressing economic challenges and preserving conservative values.
Trump’s victory in the 2024 election was one of the most contentious in recent history, underscoring deep divisions in the American political landscape. His second term is expected to reignite debates on policies ranging from immigration to trade, healthcare, and energy.
Following the inauguration, Trump and his family participated in a parade along Pennsylvania Avenue, culminating in a celebratory luncheon with congressional leaders and key supporters.
As the nation turns the page, all eyes are on Trump’s leadership and his promises to reshape America’s future once again.
